Celtics (0-0) vs Heat (0-0) LV Summer League Game #1 7/8/23

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Keeping no one from this summer league team but Walsh. Send Davison to Maine and get rid of the rest of them.

One of the things I'm seeing from you is that you form opinions quickly on players.

Not loving this SL team that Brad put together. Davison and Walsh are decent, but that’s about it.

no love for Balcerowski? i have watched his highlight videos a bit and he is a very good passer and can cut to the basket well.

the big question was his defense and how tough he can play.

Right, and Robinson went off for 36 points so what does that tell you.

in summer league, not much. one game heroes and one game goats are not important (remember carson's third period 3s?) but it is worth watching to seeing how he, and others, do.

Walsh hot from 3 and hustles on defense. But isn’t able to create space much by driving. Tendency to go right every time. Will need to hit 3 to get minutes.

This is the Celtics’ worst summer team Ive watched in several years.

Disappointed in JD. He won’t make club without a jump shot.

That RJ Hunter year was rough. Summer league is about finding talent and seeing how guys respond. It's not like the winner of the summer league has historically impacted the NBA season.

I thought Walsh (and other players) got fouled by Robinson several times on drives. Robinson got away with a lot of defensive contact, and then got a lot of ticky-tack fouls on the other side. Coach even got T'd up over it. But the refs are summer league refs so I don't know what to expect.

11 asts in a Summer league game is impressive.

The refs were crap no doubt. I saw a lot to like. We'll see more tomorrow!

Well it tells me little, that neither C’s big could stop the guy. That said, I liked that I saw from Balcerowski on the other side of the ball. He is a big body & big target for JD.

[SparzWizard]

That's been the story for the C's against the Heat...getting owned by their D-League squad.

Sorry. Other than Walsh I don’t see much of anything that screams they belong on the big club.

Considering he's the guy who had a roster spot last year, Champagnie was extremely disappointing. It's like he and his bro are Schwarzenegger and Devito in "Twins."

Walsh looks like an NBA player his first game, not a world beater but he moves well on D and shot well.

I think Walsh had too narrow of a base in college.   It looks better now and this is enough to throw off one's shot as narrow base means poor balance

[Roy H.]

I only caught part of the game, but from what I saw Walsh looked like a legit prospect.  He moves well and has good instincts.  The hot shooting was a bonus.

I'm less sure about Davidson.  He still looks like a G-Leaguer to me. The assists are nice, but he didn't look completely in control to me.

Those were the only two Celts that seemed to have NBA potential to me. 

Champagnie should be waived.  He's just not good enough for an NBA roster.

He's the self-titled "Master of Panic"

[libermaniac]

If Walsh hovered around 30% from 3 last year, where do you think he would have went in the draft?

He kind of did. 20-72. 27.8%. One more make puts him at 29.1% and two more at 30.5%. So I’d say pretty much where he went.

Just finished Watching the tape

Saw Walsh a few times with Arkansas....he's always around the ball on defense
Scrubb will never lead  the league in assists...what  hog!
Never liked JD's game....dribble, dribble, dribble..opps...8 seconds on shot clock
